IMO: Most NBS trucks look better with them off. Most NNBS trucks look better with them on. Something about the horizontal body line on NBS trucks look good. That's missing on the NNBS trucks.

I took mine off, looks great, except some of the pieces left outlines etched into the clear coat and paint, and some of the pieces didn't.

On the 07+ trucks they look beter with molding IMO. The door is too flat without it.

Anything prior to 07 looks better without molding.

The panels that have an outline have probably been repainted before.

Just leave them on Kyle. At least yours are painted black, honestly i've never even noticed that you even had side moldings lol

On a side note, get that thing tuned. It's a turd

That molding is kind of like a condom. It might be "better" with it off, but you've got to be more careful. Then, you realize it's better to just play it safe and keep it on, especially when you find a condom that blends in well and doesn't feel like a work glove.


Anyways, definitely agree that the NNBS trucks look better with the molding. I've never worried about my truck looking cheap, but I do have to say that de-molding the NNBS trucks does make them look cheaper. Just my .02 cents, but I say keep it...seems like as more time passes, people tend to scratch and dent my trucks up more and more.

Leave them! I would say take them off if they were different but you barely notice them now! Plus its not hard to do but I wouldn't risk any kind of mark on that fine black paint! That would bug the hell out of you more than those moldings...lol...jmo
